Happy Halloween :)

So this week was super good but to tell you the truth I cant remembermost of what happened. The days seem to blur together. So Halloweenwas this week and I was super excited for it but the sad thing is thathere, nobody celebrates Halloween :( no decorations, no costumes, nocandy....nada. That was kind of a bummer but we did have a funexperience that night. We are teaching a family right now that I love!They are getting married this month and they have two little kidsnamed Rodrigo and Carla. This family is always so fascinated wheneverI talk about my culture and the U.S. I was telling them about what wedo on Halloween and Rodrigo was dying, he was like " What! You getcandy on Halloween?" Haha my mom sent me a package for Halloween thathad like Skittles and some other candy and some fake spiders in it soI decided to give this kid a fun Halloween. That night I put the candyand the spiders in a bag and brought it with me to the lesson. At theend of the lesson I was like okay Rodrigo I know you wanted to knowwhat Halloween is like the States so I brought you a present. I pulledout the bag of candy and he literally couldnt contain his joy! He wasjumping around and he was like "Mom look look!" They were all so happyand they put the fake spiders all over their house. They had no ideawhat skittles were because they have never tried them but they allloved them soooo much! It was a pretty fun experience. So one thingthat I have neglected to mention in my past emails is that we usethese things called motokars to get where we need to go. It is alittle carriage strapped onto the back of a motorcylce and we use themto travel long distances... super sketchy but fun :) It has beenraining a ton here in the past few weeks and the mud is crazy bad butestà bien! We have transfers in a couple week and we think we aregoing to be put in a trio because we have a lot of new hermana´s thatneed trainers. Right now I am the baby of the mission because I am theyoungest girl but not for very much longer. That is all I have for youthis week, I love you all! Talk to you next week!Love,Hermana Allphin
